This unusual pocketbook, designed for fishermen, netmakers, boatbuilders and other professionals, provides easy reference on land or sea, to a wealth of useful information. It is presented in five parts. The first helps with the choice and use of materials; the second with the choice of fishing gear; the next outline the characteristics of echo sounders and deck machinery for handling fishing gear. Then comes information on the most effective use of fishing vessels, and guidelines for calculating costs and benefits of fishing operations. Finally basic formulae and tables are given and a section on ordering equipment. Fishing technologies are not dependent on exact science, for individual experience, knowledge and skill are of great importance. This workbook therefore contains sets of guidelines drawn from the wide experience of master fishermen, to be used in combination with the individual's own experiences, knowledge and expertise.

New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
